“Relatives?” Haylan was surprised.
He had no idea that he had any relatives in the Whileal Kingdom.
At this point, he was all at sea.
“Haylan, you have relatives in the Whileal Kingdom?” Reign asked with surprise.
Though they were now a couple, she had never heard him mention having any relatives here.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head. “I have no idea who they are.”
After a moment of thought, he said to Leonard, “Regardless of who they are, bring them over here.”
Leonard nodded and immediately disembarked from the aircraft carrier to fetch the visitors.
About ten minutes later, he returned to the deck accompanied by an elderly woman and a middle–aged man, who stood before Haylan and Reign.
The old woman appeared old while the man was in his middle age.
Upon seeing them, Haylan’s expression turned grave.
It was his grandmother and uncle!
Now, Mrs. Labenz and Harry had aged considerably. They no longer exuded the same domineering presence they had when they were in their homeland. Instead, their faces were filled with weariness.
The old lady had even more gray hair than before while wrinkles lined her face like deep crevices.
Harry had lost the vigor and confidence he once had in their homeland, replaced by a sense of defeat. He bore a heavy burden on his shoulders, and there was an indissoluble sorrow between his brows.
“Haylan, my dear grandson, it’s so good to see you.”
“Dear nephew, I miss you so much!”
Upon seeing him, the duo rushed toward him as if they had found their best friend, immediately embracing him and bursting into tears.
Haylan was stunned.
He muttered to himself, “What’s going on here? Aren’t these two always looking down on me? Why did they change so suddenly?
Without hesitation, he immediately pushed them away and said in a deep voice, “I’m not familiar with either of you, so don’t get too close to me.”
“Haylan, I’m your grandmother. How can you treat me like this?” Mrs. Labenz’s tears streamed down her face as she held onto him tightly.
“Haylan, we’re sorry for everything that happened in the past. It was all our fault. Please, I beg you. Help us! Help your uncle!” Harry pleaded with tears in his eyes as well.
“Right, Haylan, we were wrong. We apologize to you and your mother. Let me apologize to you now. I’m sorry.”
Tears streamed down Mrs. Labenz’s face as she clutched her grandson’s hand, pleading. “Even if you hate me and your uncle, it’s alright. But I implore you, out of our shared bloodline, please save your cousin.”
“Cousin? What happened?” Haylan frowned.
“We, we were deceived. The old woman pounded her chest and stomped her foot.
As it turned out, shortly after their family immigrated to the Whileal Kingdom, they wanted to go out and celebrate. However, because of the celebration, his cousin Missy Labenz caught the attention of a local gang due to her beauty. The leader of the gang had a particular fondness for fair–skinned women.
Upon noticing Missy, he wasted no time and promptly dispatched individuals to invite her to join him.
Being a graduate of a prestigious university, Missy was proud and arrogant. Although she enjoyed living in the Whileal Kingdom, she had a strong aversion to gang members and flatly refused.
The conflict escalated precisely due to her refusal.
Driven by anger from her rejection, the gang leader unleashed his fury, firing shots that claimed the lives of several

members of the Labenz family and their friends. In addition, he abducted her.
Consumed by rage, the gang leader went as far as targeting the Labenz family’s assets in the Whileal Kingdom, resorting to acts of vandalism and coercion. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
As a result, the Labenz family was left with nothing, stripped of possessions and family members.
Furthermore, some of the Labenz women who had already immigrated long ago were sold off to certain places for illicit
activities.
Throughout this period, Mrs. Labenz and Harry found themselves backed into a corner by the relentless gang members, their worries taking a toll on their physical appearance, their hair turning gray.
It was not until they saw the news and learned about Haylan’s connection to Shadow Knight that they finally realized he had also come to the Whileal Kingdom.
Seeing that he knew so many impressive friends, they regretted their actions deeply.
If they had known how formidable he was, they would not have treated him that way back in their home country. While they were consumed with regret, Harry suddenly had the idea to seck Haylan’s help, proposing it to Mrs. Labenz. Upon reading the news and catching sight of Leonard standing beside Haylan, the old lady was filled with immense joy. She swiftly embraced the plan, expressing her agreement.
After forming a partnership, the two immediately drove to apologize to Haylan, asking for his assistance.
After Mrs. Labenz explained the situation, she grabbed his hand and pleaded, “Haylan, it was all my fault back then. I’m begging you now. Can you help your cousin? Let me kneel in front of you!”
With that, she was about to kneel down to her grandson.
Seeing her like this, Haylan felt rather upset.
Although he harbored some disgust toward the duo, witnessing their current miserable state served as a lesson, and he could not help but feel a sense of discomfort.
He reached out and helped his grandmother up, saying calmly, “Mrs. Labenz, please get up.”
“If you don’t agree to help, I… I won’t get up.”
She did not get up and instead tried to kneel before him.
After all, things had escalated to the point where they were desperate in the Whileal Kingdom, constantly at risk of being killed by the gang members.
In other words, Haylan was their last lifeline.
No matter what, she had to cling to this hope.
“Haylan, no matter what, we’re still a family. Blood is thicker than water. Please save your cousin, Harry pleaded, quickly kneeling down.
Haylan extended his hand to help them up, letting out a sigh before speaking, “So now you realize the need for regret, huh? Did you truly believe that by leaving one country and entering another, you could attain greater ideals? Let me enlighten you: the world is the same everywhere. When you lack power, you will be subjected to bullying no matter which country you find yourself in. Nevertheless, since we were once family, I will assist you with this favor.”
With that, he looked at Leonard and said, “Leonard, lead a team to rescue the person. Remember, anyone who harms my family will be mercilessly killed!”
Although the Labenz family had treated his family poorly, they were still his relatives after all.
If the gangs in the Whileal Kingdom dared to harm his family, they would have to pay a bloody price.
“Understood, Mr. Jaber. Leave it to me.”
Leonard nodded, then turned to Harry and Mrs. Labenz, saying in a deep voice, “Both of you, come with me.”
With that, he waved his hand.
In an instant, more than thirty Shadow Knight warriors appeared behind him, exuding a majestic aura and a chilling murderous intent.
Every warrior wore an icy glare, emanating a chilling aura of bloodlust.
Seeing them like this, Harry and Mrs. Labenz were startled, their eyes filled with fear.
They found the warriors incredibly frightening, which scared them from the depths of their hearts.
